Abstract
In a search for nematocidal compounds from wild plant sources. chavico l and demethyleugenol were found from V. furcatum, and 4-vinylphenol w as found from three Rosaceae species. These three compounds each conta ined both p-hydroxyphenyl and exo-methylene moieties, and several rela ted compounds were prepared and tested for nematocidal activity. The r esults show that the hydroxyphenyl group was essential for the activit y, while the aliphatic substituents on the benzene ring enhanced it. T he strongest activity was found with 4-propenylphenol.
